Thanks for sharing this video! I noticed a lot of hate because of you guys stepping in and helping. If anybody watches many of the animal shows where an animal has given birth with caretakers the caretakers 99.9% step in to make sure the baby will have the best chance of living. In this case it makes even more sense- this type of tiger is very close to becoming extinct! A little help from humans can help save a species! Great work SCT!

Hello there,
Thank you for your kind comments and support. It is supportors like you whom gives us the pillar of strength and motivates us to work even harder to save this critically endangered species whom many experts and conservationists worldwide have openly declared extinct!
Thank you once again.

Our Organisation, Save China's Tigers believes that the South China Tiger still exist, because there are still unconfirmed sightings, pug marks, claw mugs and even waste material which are too large to be that of other cat species such as the Chinese Leopard.

Due to the fact that it may possibly be extinct in the wild, hence we initiated this rewilding project, to allow these captive bred chinese tigers to regain their survival instincts. So that they can be released back into China's wild.

Hello there ArabianMay,
Very knowledgeable on your part there, many things you stated are correct.
It isn't confirm that South China Tiger still roams China's wilderness, it has been about 40years since the last wild Chinese Tiger was spotted!
A census we funded, conducted by Ron Tilson several years ago came out with the conclusion that South China Tigers could be extinct in the wild, and even if they do exist, perhaps only around a handful are alive, and are scattered all around China.

This isn't a house, this is a private reserve in South Africa, and this is just the breeding center of Laohu Valley reserve. We have signed a contract with Chinese Government to bring these Tigers to South africa where we will breed them and allow them to regain their hunting instincts before sending them back to China for their eventual release.
Huloo(the cub) has been reintroduced to its siblings of the next litter, and they have successfully hunted.

Hey there mjaaa93,
This is not a cage, this is our breeding center in Laohu valley reserve, South Africa. The breeding center is quite big, and has an internal and external section, as you can see from the video, Cathay kept pacing at the external section of the breeding center.
This is no ordinary tiger, this is the critically endangered South China Tiger, which has been considered to be extinct in the wild, around 60 of them are left in captivity, all in China.

Hello there, the reason it was removed was that during the period when Cathay give birth, the weather was unseasonably cold. There was a risk where the Cub would die of exposure, and hence we did what we thought was the best decision at that time, to remove the cub. Cathay did show motherly instincsts by licking the cub, but the weather was just too cold. This is written in our video description. =)
